"President Pang, don't worry," Zhao Yu said to Pang Zhihui with a majestic look in the interrogation room, "without conclusive evidence, we will never wrongly accuse you! Therefore, we hope you can cooperate with us well. If you If you can help us find the real culprit, can't we clear your name?"
"Detective Zhao, I know you have solved so many major cases and you are very famous..." Pang Zhihui almost cried and quickly bowed to Zhao Yuzuo, "I really have never killed anyone. Don't worry, as long as I know Yes, I will definitely say it, I will definitely say it!”
"Well, that's good..." Zhao Yu nodded with satisfaction and said, "President Pang, I want to ask you, what was the situation when the hanging coffins were excavated in 1985? How many people were involved in that excavation?" Excavation?"
"Hmm... Oops..." Pang Zhihui scratched his head and recalled for a long time before he replied seriously, "There are so many, including provincial and municipal cultural relics bureaus, museums, construction workers, and some experts and scholars from other regions, the media Reporters and the like, shouldn’t there be two or three hundred people?”
"Oh..." Zhao Yu thought for a while and asked, "If I want to know the exact list of these people, can you help me find it?"
"It should... it shouldn't be possible?" Pang Zhihui said, "The management at that time was not as strict as it is now. There seems to be no list. Oh... our level is the lowest. If you want to know, I'm afraid you have to get the provincial unit Go and ask!
"However, as far as I know, the founders are no longer alive..."
"It doesn't matter, this is not the point!" Zhao Yu waved his hand and asked, "I just want to know, do you still remember the participants from your county-level unit?"
"Well... I was only in my 20s at the time..." Pang Zhihui replied, "I can barely remember a few from our unit, but it's hard to say for those from other units!"
"Okay!" Zhao Yu said, "Later, write down all the people you remember for me. The more detailed you can write, the better!"
"Oh... Okay! Well..." Pang Zhihui was a thoughtful person and couldn't help but ask immediately, "Detective Zhao, why do I hear what you mean... Is the murderer in that scientific expedition team?"
"Yes!" Zhao Yu nodded bluntly and said, "If you remove the fresh pry marks on the hanging coffin, the ancient marks on the seven coffins are completely consistent. This means that the person who placed the female corpse No. 7 probably used that A scientific expedition!”
"But Detective Zhao, everything else is easy to explain, but we are engaged in scientific research, so how can the corpse... not be corrupted? If it was put in in 1985, will it still be lifelike in 33 years?" Pang Zhihui still refused to believe it.
"You don't have to worry about this!" Zhao Yu said, "It's because the body didn't rot that my previous judgment was shattered! So, you just need to help me recall whether there was anyone in the scientific expedition team that excavated the hanging coffin. Just some suspicious person!"
"Suspicious person... this..." Pang Zhihui began to recall carefully. "The excavation site was thunderous and rainy. Especially when people found that all the seven hanging coffins were empty, many people dispersed on the spot. …
"At that time... at that time..." He scratched his head hard and recalled, "We did some simple collection work, and then covered the coffin board...
"Yes... I still have a vague impression that when the coffin was closed, all the people from the provincial and municipal units left, leaving only a few staff from our county units and a few construction workers...
"If there is really a problem, it can only arise from these people..."
"So, you were at least present when the coffin was closed?" Zhao Yu asked.
"Yes, I remember this well!" Pang Zhihui said, "I even went down to help in person!
"Well... it's just... I didn't seem to build the hanging coffin No. 7, but when each coffin was closed, someone took notes. In front of so many people, it shouldn't be possible for anyone to tamper with it, right?"
"If someone takes the opportunity to place a corpse in the hanging coffin No. 7, they will definitely not do it during the day..." Zhao Yu analyzed, "Only at night! And, only after the coffin is closed! President Pang, you still remember, the coffin is closed." After the coffin was placed, were the scaffolding and cable car dismantled immediately?"
"Ouch, ouch!" Unexpectedly, when Zhao Yu mentioned this link, Pang Zhihui suddenly straightened his neck like a fighting cock, widened his eyes and said, "Officer Zhao, Officer Zhao... I seem... I seem to know the suspect. Who is this person!"
"Oh? Who is it?" Zhao Yu was surprised, and the other police officers were also very excited.
"No... it couldn't have been that kid Jiang Yong, right?" After Pang Zhihui finished telling the details, his head suddenly lowered.
"Jiang Yong?" Zhao Yu asked, "Who is this person?"
"He is a relative of mine who has not graduated from the fifth level. We are all descendants of the Pang family!" Pang Zhihui introduced, "When we excavated the hanging coffins, we needed several experienced construction workers, and Jiang Yong was one of them. .
“Because we are related, I have some impression of him.
"Well... Jiang Yong is one or two years younger than me. After dropping out of high school, he has been working at a construction site. For some unknown reason, he also participated in the excavation of the hanging coffin!
"The most important thing is..." Pang Zhihui said, "Because he has strong arms and is young, he has always been the main member of the construction team from building scaffolding, to rappelling on the cable car, to opening and closing the coffin!
"When you mentioned scaffolding just now, I remembered..." Pang Zhihui said, "Because nothing was found in the seven hanging coffins, our scientific expedition mission could only be regarded as completed ahead of schedule. On the day when the coffins were sealed, the sky was already dark. early…
"I still vaguely remember that the scaffolding was not dismantled immediately on site, but it seemed that it took a day or two... But I can't tell the specific impression. I was not involved in the finishing work after the coffin was closed!
"But... Jiang Yong and his co-workers should have been watching until the end!"
"Jiang Yong..." Zhao Yu touched the name and asked, "President Pang, do you still have contact with this person?"
"Yes, yes..." Pang Zhihui said, "Now I work as a security guard at the Water Conservancy Bureau! I even saw it at a wedding banquet a few days ago!"
Hearing this, Zhao Yu hurriedly made a gesture to the single-sided glass. Ran Tao immediately understood and immediately took Captain Xiong Wendong to catch the person...
"President Pang, you just said that besides Pang Yong, he has a group of co-workers," Zhao Yu asked again, "How many are there specifically? Do you know any of them?"
"I don't recognize them anymore. There are six or seven of them in total. They were all quite young at the time!" Pang Zhihui said, "It doesn't matter. You can find Jiang Yong and ask him. He should know!"
"Ouch..." he muttered worriedly, "I hope... it wasn't that kid who did it, right? Jiang Yong is a very honest person. He doesn't like to talk much. He shouldn't do anything like murder..."
"Then... what is his current family situation?" Zhao Yu asked again.
"It's just because he doesn't like to talk. He used to be strong and good, but now he's still a bachelor! I seem to have had a few dates when I was young, but they didn't work out... Maybe the other party thinks he's too boring?"
"Oh... I've never been married..." Zhao Yu pondered for a moment, feeling that Jiang Yong was even more suspicious...
